Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 1/24-Scale F-111 Aircraft with Various External Stores at Mach Numbers from 0.5 to 1.3

Abstract : This report presents and discusses the results of transonic wind tunnel tests conducted to evaluate the effects of external stores on the aerodynamic characteristics of the F-111 aircraft at wing sweep angles of 26, 45, and 54 deg. The analysis includes evaluation of the incremental changes in the drag, static margin, and lateral-directional derivatives associated with the various store configurations. Wind tunnel coefficient data for a clean baseline configuration are also presented. Data are presented with pylons alone, GBU-10, GBU-15CCW, GBU-15CCW with extended Pave Tack pod, AGM-65, Rockeye, SUU-30H/B, and MK-82SE stores. Data are presented for Mach numbers ranging from 0.5 to 1.3 at angles of attack from -2 to 16 deg at zero sideslip angle, and for sideslip angles from -10 to 10 deg at angles of attack of 5, 10, and 15 deg.
